Reliance to launch ChatGPT rival next month

New Delhi, February 21

An artificial intelligence (AI) tool (Hanooman) can make its debut next month. It was unveiled in December last year as part of a partnership between Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries and eight Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) with hand holding by the Central Government.

Announced by Reliance Group scion Akash Ambani, Hanooman is among a clutch of artificial intelligence tools being developed in the country to compete with Chat GPT. Once launched, Hanooman will have as its competitors Sarvam, Krutrim etc. Akash said the group had been working on this AI tool for the past eight years. BharatGPT though will be unique. Backed by Reliance’s deep pockets, it will not be dependent on the whims of venture capitalists like Sarvam and Krutrim.

To steal a march over ChatGPT, Hanooman, or BharatGPT as it was called earlier, will be a multi-language AI model handling coding, content writing and even mathematics questions.
